rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...: Oh wow, is that even legal?; December 21, 2009 at 1:14 PM
Konosha said...: Here in Russia they even publish novels with the plot like Twilight has. They put Rob and Kris on the covers - I am so ashamed of that!!! That's so stupid!; December 21, 2009 at 1:17 PM

Butterfly25 said...: I think this whole insane craziness around Robert is just going too far. They put him or use his name everywhere, I mean everywhere. Even now when he's hiding. It's ridiculous.
I wonder what does he really think about all this?; December 21, 2009 at 1:29 PM
jc(britlover) said...: It wouldn't be legal in the U.S.! Takes an act of Congress to use someone's likeness, etc.; December 21, 2009 at 1:31 PM
pattinsoncheeseburgs said...: Umm seriously...Is that even legual? I dont even think Rob knows about that. I'm ashamed of it too lol And I heard that they named a school after him?? Like wth is that about?; December 21, 2009 at 1:31 PM
keely said...: LOL, I´m sure it´s not legal, but there are things worser than that to be ashamed of :-)

@pattinsoncheesburgs:
I just know about the one in England but that was named Robert Pattinson after someone else than "our" Rob.; December 21, 2009 at 1:37 PM

AP said...: Well - the bloody other/opposite side of what?? No, on second thoughts, don't want to know! lol; December 21, 2009 at 3:16 PM
twmmy said...: OK, I think all the books of him are withouth his opportunity, and think about the dvd robsessed. Maybe this book is not the worst thing, because it has only the drawed picture, not about his life.; December 21, 2009 at 3:42 PM
solas said...: At first I was wondering if there are countries that do not honour copyrights and such, and if Russia was one of them. Then I thought about all of the magazines even in US, UK, etc., that use Rob's (and most other people's) photos and/or likeness without permission. It's my old question of where the line is drawn about public domain, and belonging to the public, and isn't that a bit like slavery or endentured servitude? And now that I understand the legal problem with fighting paps is that of public domain, like (differences of differences, of course)garbage out to the curb is available to whomever wants to go through it, it still leaves the issue of one's own face: the paps may be allowed to photograph in public domain, but what gives them (or the ragazines) the right to USE photos of someone else without his permission?; December 21, 2009 at 5:46 PM
AP said...: @Solas: I believe the issue of public domain vs ownership is more about using an actor’s image to sell another product, rather than the image of the actor him or herself. Of course, if they are making money from the sale of this book, and it’s not a fanzine or some such, then yes, they should pay to use the image if it’s as recognizable as this, and it’s not about Ring of the Nibelungs. lol It always comes down to the money.

I'll..um...get off my soapbox now. ;); December 21, 2009 at 6:14 PM
solas said...: A- I don't see it as a soapbox; you were explaining. I want to understand---- everything!; December 21, 2009 at 8:12 PM
AP said...: Solas: Thx for the sufferance, but I was trying to make a little joke about your ref to..er..standing on a box. I tend to ellipse a lot and am often not as punny as I'd like. :); December 21, 2009 at 8:46 PM
solas said...: ahh, you were cross-post-punning. :-); December 21, 2009 at 8:46 PM
